Our Bodies are the Lord's

1 Corinthians 6:13-15a "You say, "Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food." (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can't say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead.  Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ?"

      Dearest Lord and Savior, I praise You for Your wisdom that far supersedes our own.   When this was written, there was a belief that the body was simply the shell where the soul and spirit lived, so it really didn't matter what you did with the body.  Here You address the fallacy of that thinking.  In their culture, sexual immorality was a form of worship to a false god.
      As the Bride of Christ,  we are to be a bride without spot or wrinkle, pure and holy.  Just as sexual immorality is wrong in a marriage (Hebrews  13:6 Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.),  our bodies belong to You.  You resurrect us just as by God's power You were resurrected.  Just as a bride's body belongs to her husband, our bodies belong to You!  God raised all of You, body, soul, and spirit, and He will do the same with us!  We are not our own anymore to do with as our sinful flesh would dictate.
      Lord, before You saved me, I had been sexually immoral.  Once I was literally married to my husband and figuratively married to You, that particular sin of the flesh lost its allure.  Thank You, Lord!  I love You and love my dear husband so much, even the thought of those sins disgust me.  Thank You for Your protection in that area of my thinking.
      I still have others that I do not yet have victory over, and You are working on those.
